Lynn Player Apprehends Hit-and-Run Suspect

Brandon Rothstein caused one heck of a turnover Wednesday.

Rothstein, a senior defenseman for the first-year Lynn
University men's lacrosse team, tackled and detained a suspected
hit-and-run driver for Boca Raton (Fla.) police, according to a report by NBC affiliate WPTV.
The driver reportedly fleed from a collision under pursuit, turned
into the university, crashed into a trailer being pulled by a
pickup and then tried to flee by foot near the Knights' stadium
— where players were boarding a bus for a game at
Rollins.

Rothstein, a criminal justice major, holds a master ranking in
the International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) and the
United States Practical Shooter Association (USPSA) as a
competitive shooter. He needed only his bare hands for this
takedown.

"I'm very territorial of our campus and the dude was just
running through campus, causing a scene," Rothstein
said.

The driver, later identified as 25-year-old Spencer Cohen, was
arrested.

"It's something that's in his blood that he had a real life
experience doing," Lynn coach Bryan Kingsbury said. "Hopefully next
time he'll have a badge on him."
